Space Charge Physics for Particle Accelerators

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the physics of space charge effects in proton and ion accelerators, crucial for the operation of high-intensity facilities. It offers a theoretical overview, contrasting analytical methods with multi-particle simulations and experimental data. Key topics include phase space motion, matched beams, and perturbation modes, alongside mathematical models like the Vlasov-Poisson equations. It systematically explores resonance phenomena, parametric instabilities, and emittance exchange, highlighting their effects on beam quality through detailed simulations.
